In this episode of The Midweek Takeaway, we’re joined by Paul Welch, CEO of Buccaneer Energy, to discuss the company’s successful organic oil recovery pilot at Pine Mills in East Texas.

We also touch on growth ambitions, acquisition strategy, and the goal of significantly increasing production longer term.
